- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the apple cider, until the dough forms a soft consistency.
Baking
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can also add variations like nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips for different flavors.
